People seem to be getting a little too excited about his performance at the weekend. If he played right back against a true winger I think he'd really find it tough as he's too easy to square up (see his yellow at the weekend).
As for playing him in the DM role, I just don't think he's good enough on the ball. There is a big difference between being decent on the ball for a centre half and playing in midfield.
If he plays it should be at CB, but unfortunately I think he'll find himself on the bench this weekend. Plus I've just put Oxford in my fantasy team, so he has to start!
